Why this matters
Consultation encounters in MRCP PACES reward a structured history, clear signposting, explicit reasoning, and an ability to use examiner findings without losing the patient-facing flow of the station.
What to focus on
- State what you would examine, then integrate the supplied findings quickly.
- Prioritise explanation and management instead of collecting every possible data point.
- Keep the patient perspective visible while you discuss likely diagnoses and next steps.
How TalkingCases fits this topic
TalkingCases is designed for the voice-compatible parts of PACES23: communication encounters and consultation encounters where you request findings and then use them in real-time reasoning.
Scope note: TalkingCases supports PACES23 consultation and communication preparation, but it does not replace standalone physical examination practice.
